xkcd #3065: Square Units (xkcd.com)

The biggest I've seen in a published source in the wild is an 80-fold error in a reported distance, which I think came from a series of at least three unit conversions and area/length misinterpretations.

Nice to see you fall back on the person you're talking with is in need of medication, rather than considering they've made a point you should consider.

I wonder if it's projection, but I shouldn't consider malice when you've repeatedly shown me you're probably just stupid.
